I was twenty one years when I wrote this song I'm twenty two now, but I won't be for long People ask when will you grow up to be a man But all the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams I loved you then as I love you still Tho I put you on a pedestal, They put you on the pill I don't feel bad about letting you go I just feel sad about letting you know I don't want to change the world I'm not looking for a new England I'm just looking for another girl I don't want to change the world I'm not looking for a new England I'm just looking for another girl I loved the words you wrote to me But that was bloody yesterday I can't survive on what you send Every time you need a friend I saw two shooting stars last night I wished on them but they were only satellites Is it wrong to wish on space hardware I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care I don't want to change the world I'm not looking for a new England I'm just looking for another girl

A canção foi escrita e gravada pelo próprio Billy Bragg.
Ela fez parte do álbum Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy, lançado em 1983.
A música se consolidou como uma das canções assinatura dos primeiros anos da carreira gravada de Bragg.
Em 1985, uma versão cover interpretada por Kirsty MacColl alcançou sucesso como single.
O remake de Kirsty MacColl transformou a faixa em um hit significativo anos após o lançamento original.
Diferente de muitas regravações que passam despercebidas, a versão de MacColl desta faixa específica ganhou destaque midiático próprio.
